This week’s story is from A Tendency to Be Gone by Pamela Ryder, published by Dzanc Books. Pamela Ryder’s stories transport us into realms as varied as the language that tells these tales. With sentences that are plain and precise, or lush and illuminating, we journey through a topography of the heart. These fifteen fictions fling the reader ever farther through territories unchartered, and into the literary habitations of uncertainty.
